TIPS ON HOW TO PROMOTE PEACE
We live in a broken world and we would like to give you ideas in line with our aims and objectives, on how to promote peace.
Here are solid ideas – some of which were culled from organizations (and credit is given where it is due). I would love to hear your thoughts regarding what else we can do to try to prevent violence and cultivate peace in our fragile world.
1. Make a personal commitment to nonviolence.
2. When you see someone in trouble, whether he or she is lost, confused, upset, or has fallen, don’t act like you don’t see the person – provide some help.
3. Show a child how to be kind to vulnerable people – the homeless, those with physical or cognitive disabilities, older people, and anyone else that appears different to the child.
4. Speak out against prejudice and discrimination when you see it.
4. When you feel angry, count to ten before saying anything. Then, ask yourself what response will be best for the greater good.
5. When you feel slighted, ask yourself if what happened was really about you or if it was about the other person.
6. When you realize that it was about the other person, find in your heart some compassion for that person, realizing that he or she is most surely struggling.
7. Regard people who hurt your feelings as your personal teachers of how to maintain a peaceful nature.
8. If you are a member of a religious community, ask how you can get more involved in promoting peace through its programs and ministries.
9. If you are not a member of a religious community, find a not-for-profit community organization that works toward peaceful communities and volunteer.
11. Choose a career that yields only good things for our families, our communities, and our planet.
12. Look people in the eye and smile when you pass them on the street. Better yet, actually say, “Good day" with a cheerful smile.
13. Serve on committees and task forces that work to make your neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces safer.
14. Celebrate successes in the quest for peace and nonviolence.
15. Don’t hide from life. Have faith that there is still an abundance of good in this world.
16. Please share this list with others.
